1. Cartoon Characters
   Just imagine how much fun studies can be if cartoon characters like Mickey and Donald start teaching children, alphabets and numbers in their mother tongue. Sesame Workshop, an international NGO, has created an innovative educational programme on the similar lines called “Galli Galli Sim Sim”. It is the Indian version of Sesame Street, the English educational programme of Sesame workshop. Galli Galli Sim Sim is 65 episode preschool television series, created to make education a joyride for Indian children. Its four colourful characters, Chamki, Aanchoo, Googly and Boombah encourage young children to learn basic cognitive and numeracy skills. Along with them, human characters representing different genders, regions and religions act as Galli Galli Sim Sim residents and represent the vibrancy of India’s multi-culturalism.
2. Kung Fu Hustle -- Stephen Chow
   Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Hustle may be the pinnacle of Chow’s unique vision. Prior to Shaolin Soccer, he painstakingly developed his unique brand of comedy – one that is very visual without resorting to old school slapstick. The visual gags could be very subtle (the parked car and lamp post in Magnificent Scoundrels) or over the top (the transvestite with a beard that is a staple of most Chow movies). Chow’s genius is in pacing. He knows how to put together scenes to maximum effect. With Shaolin Soccer he perfected his visual trademarks, borrowing heavily from anime and wuxia.
3. Looney Tunes -- Bugs Bunny
   The Looney Tunes have been a staple of popular culture since the 1940s. Now, they have come to the Game Boy Color. You must navigate through seven stages that are reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. In each of the levels you must help a different character get through a tough situation: Bugs and Daffy must use Frisbees to destroy enemies and defeat the boss at the end of a stage; Porky pilots a spaceship to destroy satellites and an evil star that wants to eat him; Tweety must fly through his stage avoiding bottles and Sylvester; and Speedy Gonzales must enter an Aztec temple to defeat Dracula. If you love the Looney Tunes, then you need to get a copy of LOONEY TUNES for the Game Boy Color.
4. Frederic Chopin -- Man
   Chopin's harmony ... was conspicuously innovatory. Through melodic clashes, ambiguous chords, delayed or surprising cadences, remote or sliding modulations (sometimes many in quick succession), unresolved dominant 7ths and occasionally excursions into pure chromaticism or modality, he pushed the accepted procedures of dissonance and key info previously unexplored territory. This profound influence can be traced alike in the music of Liszt, Wagner, Fauré, Debussy, Grieg, Albéniz, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and many others.
5. Warner Brothers -- Warner Bros
   The Warner Brothers® Pittsburgh Steelers Ultimate 2-Pack DVD is a must own for all Steeler fans! You can watch both the complete history of the franchise and the Super Bowl® collection, reliving the most celebrated moments from the Steel City's spectacular run in the 1970s. The DVD set includes hours of Super Bowl® game footage, season highlights, interviews and commentary from the legends that made Pittsburgh a champion.
6. Looney Tunes
   Looney Tunes is a Warner Brothers animated cartoon series which ran in many movie theatres from 1930 to 1969. It preceded the Merrie Melodies series and is Warner Bros. Animation's first animated theatrical series. The regular Warner Bros. animation cast ... became known as the "Looney Tunes" (often misspelled, intentionally or not, as "Looney Toons").
7. Bugs Bunny -- Warner Bros
   Space Jam's juxtaposition of Michael Jordan with the Warner Brothers toon characters, Bugs Bunny and Wile Coyote, as well as the ever-morphing NikeTown, are examples of postmodern fiction and architecture. Nike is ... postmodern because of the use of media spectacles. But, Nike is also a modernist organization in the most, turn of the century, Victorian capitalist sense of domination and exploitation of labor. Nike uses spin control stories and media spectacle to change the import and meaning of labor practice stories advanced by activists.
8. Woody Woodpecker
   Woody Woodpecker is an animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic woodpecker who appeared in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Pictures. Though not the first of the "screwball" characters that became popular in the 1940s, Woody is perhaps the most indicative of the type.
9. The Flintstones -- Episodes
   The Flintstones band wagon was rolling full logs ahead by its third year. They always had a solid fan base but now critics, who had surprisingly shortchanged the "cartoon show" two years prior, were won over. Many episodes pariodied current culture: The Twitch spoofed the Twist craze, Hawaiian Escapade poked fun at the TV series Hawaiian Eye and Dial "S" for Suspicion gloriously tweaked the plot of the movie Dial M for Murder into comic farace. The most famous of the 28 classic episodes in this Deluxe 4-Disc Set with Fabulous Extras is the nationally anticipated birth of Pebbles in Dress Rehearsal. If the Flintstones had DVD, they'd watch this blissful collection of "home movies" over and over. You certainly will.
10. How to Draw
    Though no dates are ever specified, The Jetsons was originally supposed to take place in the year 2062, which is a hundred years after the show's debut. Jetsons: The Movie pins the series as taking place "late in the 21st century." In the movie The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones, Elroy wanted to time travel into the future to visit the 25th century, indicating the Jetsons live no later than the 24th century. In season 2 of Harvey Birdman, the Jetsons claim to live in "the magnificent far-off year of 2002", and to have come "back in time" to 2004.
